Shortly before the State elections and the city council, the city council of Vienna has an unusually difficult idea to combat juvenile crime: educational camps for small criminals. This proposal was also discussed in the “Krone” forum. We would like to present the best comments for you.
The figures in the group of fewer than 14 -year -olds have increased particularly strongly. However, these can hardly be prosecuted in court, because the fine in Austria only takes place completely after the age of fourteen.
Many readers now strive to lower this limit. Even in international comparison, the punishment in Austrian legislation takes place relatively late. In Switzerland and the United Kingdom, for example, children can be convicted from the age of eleventh.
“Was there no huge protest?”
The problem area of juvenile crime was also recognized by the previous federal government. The special unit, which was launched last year by the Ministry of the Interior against Youth Bands, has now again raised the alarm with his report. The result: a disproportionate number of suspects are minors and have a migration background.
The call for harder measures also confirms an old saying: “The biggest enemy of the politician is the archive”. Many readers point out that FPö-Styria has already attracted criminal young people in 2023 with the requirement to educational camps. Now Spö and Neos also seem to have jumped on this train.
“Nobody knows about it after the elections.”
The timing of the change of senses also squat to many readers. The problem is not only known since the police report was published. However, the city council seems to take care of this subject only a month before the election of Vienna.
Many classify the announcement as an election campaign, even if an actual improvement of the situation would of course be a welcome change.
What do you think of the planned tightening in youth criminal law? What measures should be taken to control the problem of juvenile crime? Do you have faith in the implementation of the plans, or are you afraid of a campaign management for the upcoming Vienna election? We look forward to your comments!
